I keep getting this CEL, but when I plug in KManager it shows up as:

"daughter board low battery when cranking" ?

What dose that mean? It goes away when I upload a new kal

stock battery.

having too many extra parts linked to your battery will run it down with the quickness.

unless you have money for an optima or buddy club. haha.

do you have a capacitor for your system? that basically is another battery.

I should get a capacitor? I only got two 8 inch subs but they thump

go with a odyssey or braille. both cost less than a optima, weigh less than 15 lbs, and are stronger than the factory battery.

Not quite. A capacitor can help buffer very short, high-current draws on the battery, but it's still charging itself off the battery in between "thumps". It is not a long-term battery by itself.

Get a new battery and have the alternator checked.
